Systems and methods for electrical line coupling in illumination displays

Abstract

An electrical line coupling system is presented. The coupling system can include a string light system that includes a fastening system, fastening device, string light kit, coupling system, mounted coupling system, and/or connection apparatus. The coupling system can leverage components and/or designs of electrical lines (e.g., plugs, connectors, sockets, etc.) to facilitate coupling of the electrical line to an object and/or surface.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A fastening system comprising:
 a first member and a second member, wherein the first member includes:
 a first portion connected with a second portion via a hinge, 
 a coupling mechanism configured to couple with a strand, and 
 a fastening member configured to fasten the first portion to the second portion, 
 wherein the first and second portions form an aperture between the first and second portions when the first member is closed via the hinge, 
 wherein the first portion and the second portion are configured to receive a first elongated member within the aperture, 
 
 wherein the second member includes:
 a first portion connected with a second portion via a hinge, and 
 an aperture configured to receive a second elongated member within the aperture, 
 
 wherein the first member is configured to couple with the second member, and 
 wherein the second member is configured to couple with the first member. 
 
     
     
       2. The fastening system of  claim 1 , wherein the coupling mechanism of the first member comprises prongs. 
     
     
       3. The fastening system of  claim 1 , wherein the coupling mechanism of the first member comprises threads. 
     
     
       4. The fastening system of  claim 1 , wherein the coupling mechanism of the first member comprises a hook. 
     
     
       5. The fastening system of  claim 1 , wherein the first member is configured to couple with the second member via a notch. 
     
     
       6. The fastening system of  claim 1 , wherein the second member is configured to couple with the first member via lips. 
     
     
       7. The fastening system of  claim 1 , wherein the first member is configured to couple with the second member, and the second member is configured to couple with the first member, via threads. 
     
     
       8. The fastening system of  claim 1 , wherein the first member is configured to couple with the second member via a protrusion, and the second member is configured to couple with the first member via a groove configured to receive the protrusion. 
     
     
       9. The fastening system of  claim 1 , wherein the second elongated member comprises a strand. 
     
     
       10. The fastening system of  claim 1 , wherein the second elongated member comprises a strand including a connector.
